(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) The White House has decided to apply a thick layer of plausible deniability over any response to what many are considering a conveniently-timed report linking former President Donald Trump with stashed nuclear codes.
During the FBI’s militarized raid of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, agents were searching for classified documents related to nuclear weapons, according to a new report from the Washington Post. The paper’s anonymous source didn’t provide any specifics, or any information concerning whether any documents were discovered during the nearly 10-hour raid.

The Biden administration, when pressed to comment on the explosive allegations, sidestepped any type of response.
“It would not be appropriate for us to speak to this or comment on this,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre warbled during a Thursday appearance on far-leftist media organ MSNBC. “And so we leave it to the Department of Justice.”
The Justice Department refused comment, and President Joe Biden was jetting around on Air Force One with his crack-addict son, Hunter, who the DOJ refuses to investigate.

The nuclear leak from the Washington Post, the same outlet that was forced to retract and cleanse its bogus Russia hoax reporting, came as Attorney General Merrick Garland copped to authorizing the Mar-a-Lago raid and had asked a court to unseal the search warrant related to it.
AG Garland personally approved the raid on President Trump.
This is nothing short of a coup.

Also running concurrent to the Trump nuclear leak, federal agents on Thursday shot a person who allegedly tried to breach a FBI field office in Cincinnati, which mainstream media pounced to connect with Trump, the MAGA movement and J6.
Trump responded to Garland’s pronouncement with a blistering rebuke.
“My attorneys and representatives were cooperating fully, and very good relationships had been established. The government could have had whatever they wanted, if we had it,” Trump said in a statement.
“They asked us to put an additional lock on a certain area – DONE! Everything was fine, better than that of most previous Presidents, and then, out of nowhere and with no warning, Mar-a-Lago was raided, at 6:30 in the morning, by VERY large numbers of agents, and even “safecrackers.” They got way ahead of themselves. Crazy!”
Trump challenged Garland on Truth Social to release any and all documents related to the Mar-a-Lago raid, which he called “unAmerican, unwarranted and unnecessary.”
“Not only will I not oppose the release of documents … I am going a step further by ENCOURAGING the immediate release of those documents, even though they have been drawn up by radical left Democrats and possible future political opponents, who have a strong and powerful vested interest in attacking me, much as they have done for the last 6 years…” Trump wrote.
“Release the documents now!”
Trump attorney Christina Bobb disputed the likelihood that a search that had reportedly been for documents from the National Archives had suddenly escalated to global security.
“I do not believe there were any in there,” Bobb told Fox News about nuclear documents allegedly stashed at Mar-a-Lago, while reiterating that Trump had turned over everything that was requested.
“It’s my understanding, on very good belief based on a thorough investigation, that there was nothing there,” Bobb said.
That conclusion was widely shared, with suspicions that the sudden narrative turn to nuclear codes and top-secret documents was a purposeful distraction from increasing questions and concerns about the Justice Department.
Leaks to WaPo now claim “documents relating to nuclear weapons” were “sought” at Mar-a-Lago. No word on whether they were recovered. Taking this story at face value, the DOJ decided to wait a year and a half before tracking down the USA’s most closely guarded nuclear secrets?

While Trump was hijacking The Beast, strangling his secret service agent, plotting to overthrow the US government, and shattering plates at the White House, he was also secretly copying nuclear documents to store in a safe at his house in Florida.
That’s their narrative.

“Joe Biden weaponized the DOJ to take down his top political opposition,” wrote Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn. “What do you think the FBI’s code name is for their new Trump hoax?”
If the FBI waited 18 months to seize “nuclear documents” from a country club, everyone at the agency should be fired.

The President had “nuclear secrets” at Mar a Lago.
But in January the Feds remove 15 boxes of documents.
FIFTEEN.
But leave the nuke docs.
Right.
And Biden just had COVID.
They really think you’re that thick.

“They’ve spent six years searching for a crime,” wrote XStrategies’ Greg Price.
“They’ve fabricated FISA warrants, doctored evidence, used Russian agents to create dossiers, they’ve lied and leaked and they never found ANYTHING. Now, they’re so emboldened and desperate to stop him that they raided his home.”
Trump was hiding evidence for January 6th at Mar-a-Lago.
…actually it’s financial documents about his taxes…
…actually it’s stuff for the national archives…
…actually it’s secret nuclear codes and blueprints…

After days of silence, Merrick Garland he says ordered the Code Red and lectures us on distrust of the FBI. Five minutes later, we get leaks to the NYT about the contents of the warrant. None of this is about trust-building.
